activism. Dating from 1970, when at the age of 17, he spearheaded the Walk for
Development, in Cincinnati, Ohio, raising $60,000, he has donated countless
hours for the betterment of local communities.
He pursued French Cooking as a career beginning in 1972, working as a waiter
then as a line cook for free at the 3 Star, Celestial Restaurant until La
Maisonette, a 5 star restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio, realized what a talent he
was and hired him as a chef. He traveled Europe for six months, working in L’Atalante, a French Resort Restaurant on the island of Isle de Re, France. In
1979 he, with his partner Akaisha, purchased Luther’s, a 46 seat restaurant in
Santa Cruz, California. He was the chef-owner of this restaurant for ten years.
Bill was recruited for Dean Witter Reynolds, and began his career as a stock
broker in 1985, becoming a member of the Director’s Club for excellent
performance and new account production. He rose to the position of Vice
President of Investments, Branch
Manager of the Aptos, California office in 1988.
Bill retired at the age of 38 to begin exploring the world. In May, 2003 he
instituted the Billy & Akaisha Retire Early Lifestyle and Travel Website (RetireEarlyLifestyle.com),
where the focus is on travel stories and quality photos of world journeys. He is
webmaster of that site.
In 1995 his active volunteerism continued as he coached a women’s basketball team to the finals in Chapala, Mexico. In 1996, he arranged for and imported a donated basketball scoreboard from Cincinnati, Ohio to the local community of Chapala, Mexico. He voluntarily ran City of Chapala’s tennis courts from 1996 to 2002, running fund raisers to repair and maintain existing courts. He also spearheaded the fundraising to build 2 new tennis courts, and supervised that construction to completion. He did all this while learning Spanish first-hand from the locals.
In 2005, after 15 years of early retirement and world travel, he co-authored The Adventurer's Guide to Early Retirement.
